Fault's Peaks

Awake the next day Replaying words that were said in vain Bold is to night as shame to day You understood And for the eve I was banter king So now in the light Preconceived visions of what I'd like My perfect form resides in mind Things so innate in myself hinder survival Rise and shine I can't see your fault's peaks Far too high Just two inches too short Life given to training Still pales next to someone strong Withering and dull in daytime Intention aside we were born as we are Withering and dull in daytime Sun sets No soul watch as I fly I am covered in ice A ceiling, which for my life I've tried to breach the surface Yet just scaled its horizon I fight a struggle like A circle expanding wide Its radius is perfect And though it spreads so certain It won't become a sphere Awake the next day Replaying words that were said in vain Bold is to night as shame to day Now in the light Preconceived visions show what I'd like My perfect form resides in mind Mind only Tread lightly, subconsciously, carefully Things innate in me hinder survival Pretend I can Rise and shine Blinders block faults sky high My shade, forever Withering and dull in daytime Sun sets No soul watch as I fly Rise and shine I can't see my fault's peaks Too high to climb I'll lament myself instead And pray one day maybe I can change Although I won't
